Fabric Decisions

2/20/2011

Well, I visited Berwick street in London and was massively disappointed by it - after spending half an hour in the New York Fabric district last summer, London did not live up to my expectations with a small selection and astronomical prices! I saw a total of 2 white beaded laces, one for £250 per metre and one for £600 for 3 metres. So Naomi by Carrington it is - delivery times are 7 to 10 days so thats a brilliant news!
On the subject of silk, there was a good selection of colours available in the London fabric stores, but it was priced at £20/m for 60" wide (which is what I worked out my yardages for) compared to £15/m from silk baron (after adjusting for postage) so that going to be an internet purchase too.
I guess at least its all decided now!

Thanks Teresa! I'm enjoying making my own dress, but try to leave yourself more time than I have! I don't feel particularly talented, there lots of trial and error and stopping to think in this process!
